Namo Shurangama Assembly of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas (3x)
O Deep and Wondrous Dharani (The Shurangama Mantra) - Unmoving (Akshobya Medicine Buddha) Honored One
(Buddha).
Supreme Shurangama appears most rarely in the world. Extinguishing deluded thoughts (raga-vata-desire, dvesha-pittaanger,
moha-kapha-ignorance klesha-afflictions) from countless kalpas past (eons),
I needn't pass through eons 'till the Dharma Body's (Dharma Kaya - Enlightened Buddha Body) gained.
I wish (Bodhichitta) to now attain the Way ("The Buddha way is unsurpassed"); and as the Dharma King (Dharma Raja -
a Buddha), I'll then return (as a Bodhisattva Mahasattva) to rescue beings more than Ganges sands.
This deep resolve (Bodhichitta) I offer to the myriad Buddhas' Lands (Buddha Kshetras - worlds), and thus endeavor to
repay (filial respect) the Buddha's boundless grace (Nitya Punya).
I now request the Bhagavan (World-Honored One) to certify my Quest (the Ultimate Spiritual Quest for Enlightenment of
Anuttara-Samyak-Sam-Bodhi); to enter first the evil world - the Five Turbidities (five obscurations or cloudinesses of
mind -- 1. Kalpa or time Turbidity kalpa-kaṣāye hara; 2. View Turbidity or point of view dṛṣṭi-kaṣāya hara; 3. Affliction
Turbidity - greed-hatred-stupidity, vata desire, pitta anger, kapha ignorance - kleśa-kaṣāye hara; 4. The living beings
turbidity sattva-kaṣāye hara; and 5. The life turbidity - birth, old age, sickness and death - āyuṣ-kaṣāye hara-ha).
If yet a single being's not accomplished Buddhahood, accordingly I also must renounce (Upeksha Chatura Brahma Vihara
#4) Nirvana's Bliss.
O' Great in Courage (Conviction - Virya Paramita #4), Great in Power (Maha Bala Paramita #9), Great Compassionate
(Maha Karuna Chatura Brahma Vihara #2) One (One = Oneness returns to Zero = Emptiness - Shunyata)!
I pray would now uncover and dispel my subt'lest doubts (Maha Prajna Paramita),
Thus cause me quickly to attain Supreme Enlightenment (Anuttarasamyaksambodhi),
And sit within the Bodhimandas (Way Places) of the Ten-Fold Realms ("The Ten Dharma Realms are not beyond a single
thought.")
And even could (which it can…) the nature of Shunyata (empty space) melt away (shatter),
My Vajra-like (adamantine, indefatigable, unmoving Shurangama Akshobhya), Supreme Resolve (Bodhichitta) would
still remain unmoved (Akshobhya).

From my gurus and the Three Precious Gems, I take safe direction. With myself clear as a Bodhisattva, holding vajra

beings through the four types of giving.

How to Improve Your Memory So You Can Memorize This Shurangama Mantra to
Serve Others Selflessly:
For immense memory like Ananda (who memorized all the discourses of the Buddha), chant the 37th Hand and Eye of
Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, called the "Jeweled Sutra Hand and Eye". To assist in memorizing mantras, sutras, chants, prayers,
texts and other literature in order to teach and benefit beings and to relive their suffering, please chant line 57 of the Great Compassion
Mantra: Mwo He Syi Two Ye. As told by Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva in the Dharani Sutra: "For much learning and extensive
study, use the Jeweled Sutra Hasta-Netram Mantra 37 (lines 55-58). It goes like this:
Syi two ye. Swo pe he. Mwo he syi two ye. Swo pe he. Nan. E he la. Sa la wa ni. Ni ye two la. Bu ni di. Sa wa he."

NOTE WELL: In order to chant this complete Vast Memory Mantra, one must have already Taken Refuge with the Triple Jewel (Om
Namo Ratna Trayaya - I rely on the Buddha, on the Wisdom of the Buddha [Dharma], and on the Sangha - the wise practitioners of
compassionate wisdom), striving to Uphold and Protect the Five Precepts:
The five precepts (Pali: Pañcasīla, Sanskrit: Pañcaśīla Ch: 五戒 wǔ jiè
1. No killing [must be vegetarian ideally unless it harms one's health to do so]
2. No stealing or taking that which is not given
3. No sexual misconduct or causing your sexual desire to destroy yours or others relationships
4. No lying [also no harsh speech, no profane speech, no gossip or divisive speech, no frivolous speech]
5. No taking drugs, alcohol, or even cigarettes.
The laity undertake to follow these training rules at the same time as they become Buddhists, taking refuge in the Triple Gem: In the
Buddha (teacher), in the Dharma (teaching) and thirdly in the Sangha (community of monks and nuns). A lay practitioner who has
undertaken the precepts is called an Upasaka.
The Buddha is said to have taught the five precepts out of compassion, not out of any desire to control his followers, and so they are to
be undertaken voluntarily rather than as commandments from a god.
The Buddha said that undertaking the precepts is a gift to oneself and others [1]. He also described the rewards of following the
precepts [2] and the bad consequences of breaking the precepts [3].
The following are the five precepts rendered in English and then Pali.
I undertake the precept to refrain from taking the life (killing) of living beings.
Pānātipātā veramani sikkhāpadam samādiyāmi
I undertake the precept to refrain from stealing.
Adinnādānā veramani sikkhāpadam samādiyāmi
I undertake the precept to refrain from sexual misconduct (adultery, rape, etc).
Kāmesu micchācāra veramani sikkhāpadam samādiyāmi
I undertake the precept to refrain from false speech (lying).
Musāvāda veramani sikkhāpadam samādiyāmi
I undertake the precept to refrain from intoxicants which lead to heedlessness.

Surā meraya majja pamādatthānā veramani sikkhāpadam samādiyāmi
The Chinese version as found in the Supplement to the Canon (續藏經 XùZàngJīng) hardly differs:
As the Buddha refrained from killing until the end of his life, so I too will refrain from killing until the end of my life.
如諸佛盡壽不殺生，我某甲亦盡壽不殺生
As the Buddha refrained from stealing until the end of his life, so I too will refrain from stealing until the end of my life.
如諸佛盡壽不偷盜，我某甲亦盡壽不偷盜
As the Buddha refrained from sexual misconduct until the end of his life, so I too will refrain from sexual misconduct until the end of
my life.
如諸佛盡壽不淫欲，我某甲亦盡壽不邪淫
As the Buddha refrained from false speech until the end of his life, so I too will refrain from false speech until the end of my life.
如諸佛盡壽不妄語；我某甲亦盡壽不妄語
As the Buddha refrained from alcohol until the end of his life, so I too will refrain from alcohol until the end of my life.
如諸佛盡壽不飲酒，我某甲亦盡壽不飲酒
As said in Buddhist Ayurveda, Yoga and in the Shurangama Sutra (Volume 7), ideally, unless sick and in need of animal flesh
products, one should also avoid all meat, fish, eggs, and also 1. garlic, 2, onions,
3. leeks, 4. shallots, 5. chives and 6. hing (asafetida), otherwise, just chant the shorter version of the Memory Mantra: "Syi two ye
swo pe he, Mwo he syi two ye swo pe he"
(which in modern day Sanskrit is "Siddhya swaha, Maha Siddhya swaha" or
"Accomplishment (Success, Achievement, Attainment, Understanding, Insight, Realization),
Great Accomplishment, So Be It" (Auspicious, Swallow and Digest this Mantra, Amen, Blessed Be)
In the Sanghata Sutra it is stated by Shakyamuni Buddha to the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Sarvashura, "Sarvashura, anyone who hears
this Sangha Sutra Dharma-Paryaya, for 8,000 eons, they will uphold what they have heard."

Yoga
A sister science to Ayurveda, yoga is a profound and ancient system of experiencing the union between body, mind and spirit. With
evidence of its existence as far back as 4,000 BC, it was classically codified into eight “limbs” around 200 A.D. by the great sage and
healer Patanjali. Those eight limbs include:
Yama: universal moral or ethical disciplines and restraints governing social interactions:
1. Ahimsa: Non-violence in thought, word, and deed. Not-hurting, not-injuring, not harming, not killing.
2. Satya: Truthfulness, honesty, virtuousness. Not lying, not exaggerating, not pretending.
3. Asteya: Not stealing or wrongly taking credit for what you did not do. Not being envious of others or their accomplishments or
possessions.
4. Brahmacharya: Self-discipline, self-control, especially of the senses and of sensual (sexual) desire, so that energy usually spent
through the senses can be used for higher purposes. Brahmacharya is often used to denote celibacy, but it is a larger concept of
continence that can be applied to celibate or married life.
5. Aparigraha: Unselfishness, freedom from hoarding or collecting, non-possessiveness.
Niyama: constructive practices to help with daily life and self-purification:
1. Asana: Particular postures of the body, which Patanjali says should be “steady and comfortable.” Practicing them helps keep the
body mind healthy, calm, and more able to experience its union with Spirit. Many in the west think that the postural
stance/exercise of asana is all there is to yoga. More on this below.
2. Pranayama: The science of breath and its connection to the body mind.
3. Pratyahara: Withdrawal of attention from the senses and their external focus to inner attention for the purpose of quieting the
mind.
4. Dharana: One-pointed awareness, steadiness, concentration of the internally focused mind.
5. Dhyana: An uninterrupted flow of concentration which creates a deep state of meditation without focus on an object.
6. Samadhi: A state of ecstatic absorption, beyond consciousness, into the Infinite.
In addition to these eight limbs of yoga are several yoga “paths.” They include:
• Raja yoga: A classic yoga that includes Patanjali’s eight limbs.
• Bhakti yoga: a devotional path of service and selfless love.

• Karma Yoga: a path of right action without attachment to results or reward.
• Jnana Yoga: a path of knowledge and wisdom, separating the real from the unreal.
• Tantra Yoga: a path which reconciles opposites by experiencing the divinity in everything. Tantra is not about sexual union, as
many have misconstrued. It is a profound and arduous path, and one cannot follow it or progress without the guidance of an
authentic tantric master.
• Hatha Yoga: Codified by Swami Swatmarama in approximately 1450 A.D., Hatha yoga is what many (westerners in particular)
think of when they think of Yoga. Its 84-108 asanas or postures and pranayama techniques have become quite popular in and of
themselves and certainly have great value in creating better physical, mental and emotional health. But the true goal of Hatha
yoga is to ultimately attain the goal of Raja (Royal) yoga. Hatha yoga is only one of the steps on the journey to Samadhi.

Mantra for Patching Flaws in the Recitation of any Mantra, Prayer or Text:
Often when we chant or recite mantras, prayers, or sutra texts, our mind may be scattered and have lots of "false thinking". To
eradicate this, one can chant 3x the following Mantra: "Na mo he la da na, Duo la ye ye. Qie la qie la, Ju zhu ju zhu, Mo la mo la, Hu
la, Hong, He he Su da na (Sudhana), Hong, Po mo nu, So Po He."
Venerable Master Hsuan Hua said, "The Shurangama Mantra is an extremely efficacious text. What does that mean? It is extremely
useful and efficacious and wonderful in an inconceivable way. The Shurangama Mantra is the longest mantra within Buddhism. Its
wonderful functions can only be known by the Buddhas. Even Bodhisattvas of Equal Enlightenment (Samyaksambodhi) do not totally
understand it. So how can a very ordinary monk like me explain it? Basically, I can't; but I'm a person with a peculiar fault. That is, I
want to do what I cannot do. What I can't explain, I want to explain. I'll try my best despite the great difficulty. What I know is like
one drop of water in the great sea, but I will express it for you with the hope that you can all enter much more deeply than that and
come to understand a lot more than I am able to teach you. This is my motto in explaining the Shurangama Mantra. Although I can't
explain it, I will still explain it. I hope that you who have an interest and faith in the Shurangama Mantra will at the very least come to
understand it better than I do." (From "Vajra Bodhi Sea" Buddhist Magazine, 11-1996)

Transferring the Merit and Virtue (Punya) to All Living Beings:
"I now universally transfer the merit and virtue of this Great Compassion Mantra memorization and recitation to all beings to realize
Anuttarasamyaksambodhi -- the unsurpassed proper and equal right enlightenment of a Buddha.
.
Every thought ought to arise for the sake of living beings.
Every good deed should be done for the sake of all living beings.
Master Hua says that when you recite prayers or mantras, "you should transfer the merit to all living beings; you
shouldn't just recite for your own sake. When you recite the name of a Buddha even once and dedicate the merit
and virtue from your recitation to all living beings, you thereby increase the merit and virtue of the recitation, and
you make it penetrate without obstruction." (Source: Shurangama Sutra, Volume I, page 58)
How to Improve Your Memory So You Can Memorize These Mantras to Serve Others Selflessly:
For immense memory like Ananda (who memorized all the discourses of the Buddha), chant the 37th Hand and Eye of
Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, called the "Jeweled Sutra Hand and Eye". To assist in memorizing mantras, sutras, chants, prayers,
texts and other literature in order to teach and benefit beings and to relive their suffering, please chant line 57 of the Great Compassion
Mantra: Mwo He Syi Two Ye. As told by Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva in the Dharani Sutra: "For much learning and extensive study,
use the Jeweled Sutra Hasta-Netram Mantra 37 (lines 55-58). It goes like this:
SYI TWO YE. SWO PE HE. MWO HE SYI TWO YE. SWO PE HE. NAN. E HE LA. SA LA WA NI. NI YE TWO LA. BU NI DI. SA WA HE."
Upholding the Five Lay Upasaka Precepts are Minimum Requirement to Chant These Mantras:
1. No killing [must be vegetarian ideally unless it harms one's health to do so]
2. No stealing or taking that which is not given
3. No sexual misconduct or causing your sexual desire to destroy yours or others relationships. Even better is to practice
Brahmacharya (celibacy), which is required of all Monastics and those lay persons holding the Eightfold-Vegetarian Precepts.
4. No lying [also no harsh speech, no profane speech, no gossip or divisive speech, no frivolous speech]
5. No taking drugs, alcohol, or even cigarettes.
Sanskrit: Āryo 'ṣṭāṅgo Mārgaḥ
The Noble Eightfold Path is essentially a practical guide of ethics, mental rehabilitation and mind deconditioning, and is believed, by
Buddhists, to result in an end to dukkha, or suffering, which is a goal that has informed and driven the entire Buddhist tradition since
its inception 2500 years ago. As the name indicates, there are eight elements in the Noble Eightfold Path, and these are further
subdivided into three basic categories[1] as follows:

Wisdom (Sanskrit: prajñā, Pāli: paññā)
1. Right understanding
2. Right intention
Ethical conduct (Sanskrit: śīla, Pāli: sīla)
3. Right speech
4. Right action
5. Right livelihood
Mental discipline (Sanskrit and Pāli: samādhi)
6. Right effort
7. Right mindfulness
8. Right concentration
In all of the elements of the Noble Eightfold Path, the word "right" is a translation of the word samyañc (Sanskrit) or sammā (Pāli),
which denotes completion, togetherness, and coherence, and which can also carry the sense of "perfect" or "ideal".
Though the path is numbered one through eight, it is generally not considered to be a series of linear steps through which one must
progress; rather, as the Buddhist monk and scholar Walpola Rahula points out, the eight elements of the Noble Eightfold Path "are to
be developed more or less simultaneously, as far as possible according to the capacity of each individual. They are all linked together
and each helps the cultivation of the others"[2].
In Buddhist symbology, the Noble Eightfold Path is often represented by means of the Dharma wheel (Sanskrit: dharmachakra, Pāli:
dhammacakka), whose eight spokes represent the eight elements of the path.

Venerable Sariputta, the Buddha's chief disciple in wisdom, said that a wise person is one who understands the four noble truths, and
an unwise person is one who does not understand them[4].
Dukkha: "Now this, monks, is the noble truth of suffering:
Birth is suffering, aging is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering; union with what is displeasing is suffering; separation from
what is pleasing is suffering; not to get what one wants is suffering; in brief, the five aggregates subject to clinging are suffering.
Samudaya: Now this, monks, is the noble truth of the origin of suffering:
It is this craving which leads to renewed existence, accompanied by delight and lust, seeking delight here and there; that is, craving for
sensual pleasures, craving for existence, craving for extermination.
Nirodha: Now this, monks, is the noble truth of the cessation of suffering:
It is the remainder less fading away and cessation of that same craving, the giving up and relinquishing of it, freedom from it, and nonreliance
on it.
Marga: Now this, monks, is the noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering:
It is this Noble Eightfold Path; that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right
mindfulness, right concentration"[2][5].
The form the Buddha used in teaching the Four Noble Truths is similar to that of a medical diagnosis:
identify the disease and symptoms
its cause or diagnosis
its prognosis
and prescription
Thus, the Buddha treated suffering as a psychological dissonance which he confidently expected to be able to cure by the practice of
the Eightfold Path. Gautama Buddha claimed to present a cure for suffering - a permanent end to suffering which would destroy
suffering from its very root.

Like dew drops and a lightning flash:
Contemplate them thus.
Well, Subhuti, equally incalculable is the merit of the Bodhisattva who practices charity without any attachment to appearances.
Subhuti, Bodhisattvas should persevere one-pointedly in this instruction.
Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world:
A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream;
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,

4. UPEKSHA (Renunciation, Detachment, Equanimity)
How wonderful it would be if all sentient beings were to abide in equanimity (renunciation, detachment), free from hatred and
attachment,
May they abide in equanimity. I myself will cause them to abide in equanimity. Please, Guru-deity, bless me to be able to do
this.
1. MAITRI (Loving Kindness - Friendliness) How wonderful it would be if all sentient beings had happiness and the causes of
happiness.
May they have happiness and its cause. I myself will cause them to have these. Please, Guru-deity, bless me to be able to do this.
2. KARUNA.(Compassion) How wonderful it would be if all sentient beings were free from suffering and its cause. May they be free
of suffering and its cause. I myself will cause them to be free from suffering and its cause. Please, Guru-deity, bless me to be
able to do this.
3. MUDITA (Sympathetic Joy) How wonderful it would be if all sentient beings were never separated
from the happiness of higher rebirth and liberation. May they never be separated from these.
I myself will cause them never to be separated from these. Please, Guru-deity, bless me to be able to do this.

• What is the definition of life according to modern Western science?
Life itself is a set of processes that are carried out by an organism causing it to survive.
A conventional definition elaborated on via Buddhist Ayurveda: Reflect on how this 7 point definition below and the five point
definition following it can be explained and elaborated on using:
• Ayurvedic principles such as the five elements (pancha maha bhutas), 20 attributes (gunas), tridosha (vata-pitta-kapha), trigunas
(sattva-rajas-tamas), ojas-tejas-prana, agni and ama, 7 tissues (sapta dhatus), 5 waste products (pancha malas - urine, feces, sweat,
mucous, and khamalas []), and channels (srotamsi)
• Buddhist principles such as the Five Aggregates [Pancha Skandhas] and their qualities Four Aspects of the Pancha Skandhas:
suffering (Dukkha), impermanent (Anitya),
not-self (Anatman), empty (AKASHA SHUNYATA PRATITYA-SAMUTPADA), four noble truths, five precepts (Pancha Shila), Four
Unlimited Minds [Chatur Maha Brahma Vihara] and Twelve-fold Conditioned Arising [Dependent Origination,
Pratityasamutpada).

Although there is no universal agreement on the definition of life, scientists generally accept that the biological manifestation of life
exhibits the following phenomena:
1. Homeostasis: Regulation of the internal environment to maintain a constant state; for example, sweating to cool off.
2. Organization: Being composed of one or more cells, which are the basic units of life.
3. Metabolism: Production of energy by converting nonliving material into cellular components (synthesis) and decomposing
organic matter (catalysis). Living things require energy to maintain internal organization (homeostasis) and to produce the
other phenomena associated with life.
4. Growth: Maintenance of a higher rate of synthesis than catalysis. A growing organism increases in size in all of its parts,
rather than simply accumulating matter. The particular species begins to multiply and expand as the evolution continues to
flourish.
5. Adaptation: The ability to change over a period of time in response to the environment. This ability is fundamental to the
process of evolution and is determined by the organism's heredity as well as the composition of metabolized substances, and
external factors present.
6. Response to stimuli: A response can take many forms, from the contraction of a unicellular organism when touched to
complex reactions involving all the senses of higher animals. A response is often expressed by motion, for example, the
leaves of a plant turning toward the sun or an animal chasing its prey.
7. Reproduction: The ability to produce new organisms. Reproduction can be the division of one cell to form two new cells.
Usually the term is applied to the production of a new individual (either asexually, from a single parent organism, or
sexually, from at least two differing parent organisms), although strictly speaking it also describes the production of new cells
in the process of growth.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life
Most of the accepted criteria for determining whether something is "alive" can also, at least individually, be applied to non-living
things -- it's kind of difficult to say. The main five points are:
• CONSUMPTION (metabolism of pitta, agni, and tejas) -- does it eat or drink? Does it take in nutrients in one way or another in
order to survive, grow, and eventually multiply? This implies waste products as well.
• GROWTH (anabolic of kapha and ojas) -- does the organism develop over time, increase in complexity, until it reaches a mature
stage?
• MOTION (vata and rajas and prana) -- does it seem to move under its own power? Does it move with some discernible purpose?
(Toward food, away from heat, etc)
• STIMULUS RESPONSE (vata and rajas and sattva and tejas) -- does the organism respond to external stimuli, i.e. has a nervous
system of some sort to detect external conditions?
• REPRODUCTION (kapha and tamas and ojas) -- does it have some way of making more of itself, either through sexual
reproduction or by budding or fissioning in some way?
To qualify as a living thing, an organism must in one way or another meet each of those criteria. After all, crystals grow in solution,
and take on more material from the surrounding solution in order to do so, but do not respond neurologically if you poke them with a
pin. Of course, you don't often see mature Ponderosa pines strolling down Fifth Avenue either, so the criteria are open to
interpretation. Plants move through growth, except in special cases like the Venus flytrap; most plants follow the sun through a
complex system which floods the side of the plant shaded from the sun with water, swelling the shaded side and causing the plant to
lean toward the sun.

Even when all the criteria are met, it may be difficult to determine if something is alive or not. Take a virus. It is a strand of either
DNA or RNA, and cannot move on its own power. Yet when it attaches itself to a receptive host, it inserts itself into the cell and
forces the host to make more of the virus, a clear reproductive plan. It utilizes the host's cellular processes to do so, in a sense taking
in "nutrients" in order to survive and multiply. In some cases, exterior conditions cause the virus to integrate itself into the host DNA,
in order to hide until conditions are better to reproduce, showing a response to external stimuli. Is it alive?

• What is the definition of life according to Ayurveda? Examine the Vedic and Buddhist aspects of Ayurveda.
According to the Vedas, Life is defined by the interaction of 4 principles:
1. SHARIRAM (body)
2. INDRIYAM (senses)
3. SATTVAM (mind)
4. ATMAN (soul)
According to Buddhism (Shurangama Sutra, Heart Sutra), Sentient Beings (living beings) are an aggregate defined by the interaction
of 5 aggregate principles:
1. RUPA (form, body)
2. VEDANA (sensations, feelings - come from senses: INDRIYAM or six sense organs: SHAD AYATANANI)
3. SAMJNA (cognition, thinking, memory - comes from mind SATTVAM)
4. SAMSKARA (formations, KARMA, actions, impulses - that which leaves "scars" or "traces" in the world of SAMSARA)
5. VIJNANA (consciousness - most subtle consciousness is the ALAYA VIJNANA [store house consciousness] which takes rebirth in
samsara and which Hindus refer to as ATMAN)
Buddhist doctrine describes five aggregates:
"form" or "matter" (Skt., Pāli rūpa):
external and internal matter. Externally, rupa is the physical world. Internally, rupa includes the material body and the physical sense
organs.
"sensation" or "feeling" (Skt., Pāli vedanā):
sensing an object as either pleasant or unpleasant or neutral.
"perception" or "cognition" (Skt. samjñā, Pāli saññā):
registers whether an object is recognized or not (for instance, the sound of a bell or the shape of a tree).
"mental formations" or "volition" (Skt. samskāra, Pāli sankhāra) :
all types of mental habits, thoughts, ideas, opinions, compulsions, and decisions triggered by an object.
"consciousness" (Skt. vijñāna, Pāli viññāṇa):

2. Susruta Samhita - Susruta (compiled-redacted by Arya Bhikshu Nagarjuna Bodhisattva - Buddhist Monk Abbot from
Nalanda Monastic University - 200 A.D.)
3. Ashtanga Hridayam- Vagbhata (Buddhist layman doctor devotee of Avalokiteshvara-Chenrezig-Guan Yin - 650 A.D.)
• What is the concept of karma according to Ayurveda?
Karma is the result of intention. It is an action and our lives are a series of action. Every action creates a fruit and all fruits have
seeds and these seeds bring about Janma, birth. It is a karma that instigates all understandings.
• How can one mitigate or eradicate the effects of negative karmas of this life or past lives?
Use repentance and reform ceremonies following these four points.

Confession (Repentance and Reform); the Four Opponent Powers
1. The power of RELIANCE on the objects of refuge (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) and the generation (Pranidhana) of Bodhichitta (the
Resolve for Enlightenment for the sake of all beings).
2. The power of REGRET.
3. The power of RESOLUTION not to engage in negative actions.
4. The power of REMEDY i.e. applying an antidote - this is often mantra or prayer or chanting.
Chant the Great Compassion Mantra of Avalokiteshvara. Chanting the name of Avalokiteshvara is advocated not only by Arya
Bhikshu Nagarjuna (the Ayurvedic doctor - monk - Abbot of Nalanda University and the compiler of the 200 A.D. Sushruta Samhita),
but also by Vagbhata, who opens his 650 A.D. Astanga Hridayam with "Namo Arya-Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva". Below is the
Great Compassion Mantra in more modern Devanagari Sanskrit and the more ancient Siddham Sanskrit.

Afterwards, recite this Dharani, the spiritual mantra. To recite it five times in one evening is to wipe away your heavy offenses of hundreds, thousands,
tens of thousands of millions of aeons of birth and death.
He further said to the Buddha, "World Honored One, should any living being who recites and holds the spiritual mantra of Great Compassion fall into the
three evil paths, I vow not to realize right enlightenment. Should any living being who recites and holds the spiritual mantra of Great Compassion not be
reborn in any Buddhaland, I vow not to realize right enlightenment. Should any living being who recites and holds the spiritual mantra of Great
Compassion not obtain unlimited samadhis and eloquence, I vow not to realize right enlightenment. Should any living being who recites and holds the
spiritual mantra of Great Compassion not obtain the fruits of whatever is sought in this very life, then he is not properly using the Dharani of the Great
Compassion Heart."
If living beings usurp the food, drink, and possessions of the permanently dwelling, although a thousand Buddhas appear in the world, they will not get to
repent and reform. Even if they did repent, their offenses would not be eradicated. But now, reciting this spiritual mantra of Great Compassion wipes
away even those offenses.
One who has usurped the food, drink, or possessions of the permanently dwelling should repent before the Masters of the Ten Directions; the offenses
will then be wiped away. When one recites the Great Compassion Dharani, the Masters of the Ten Directions come to guarantee that all offenseobstacles
are completely wiped away. All heavy karmic offenses such as the ten evils, the five rebellious acts, slandering people, slandering Dharma,
breaking the rules of pure eating, breaking precepts, destroying stupas or temples, stealing from the Sangha, defiling pure Brahman conduct, all are
completely eradicated. There is one exception: if one has doubts about this mantra, then even small offenses and light karma will not be destroyed, how
much the less heavy karma. Although these heavy offenses are not destroyed, one may still plant the distant causes of Bodhi.
He addressed the Buddha further, saying, "World Honored One, people and gods who recite and hold the Great Compassion Heart Mantra will obtain
fifteen kinds of good birth and will not suffer fifteen kinds of bad death. They will:
1. not die of starvation or privation.
2. not die from being yoked, imprisoned, caned or otherwise beaten.
3. not die at the hands of hostile enemies.
4. not be killed in military battle.
5. not be killed by tigers, wolves, or other pernicious beasts.
6. not die from the venom of poisonous snakes, black serpents, or scorpions.
7. not drown or burn to death.
8. not be poisoned to death.

Avalokiteshvara Maha Karuna Bodhisattva then said, "This is the great compassion heart, the equality heart, the unconditioned heart, the undefiled and
unattached heart. It is the contemplation of emptiness heart, the respectful heart, the humble heart, and the unconfused heart. It is the no-views, nograsping
heart, and the unsurpassed Bodhi heart. You should know that the style and appearance of the dharani are just these hearts. Cultivate
accordingly!"
The Buddha replied, "This Bodhisattva's name is Regarder of the World's Sounds in Comfort (Avalokiteshvara), also known as Twirling a Lariat, or
Thousand Bright Eyes (Sahasra Netram Surya Prabha). Good man, Avalokiteshvara Maha Karuna Bodhisattva has inconceivable awesome spiritual
might. In the past, limitless aeons ago, he had already become a Buddha by the name of RIGHT DHARMA BRIGHTNESS THUS COME ONE.
Through the power of his great compassionate vows, he wishes to cause all Bodhisattvas to bring peace, joy, and fulfillment to all living beings."
3 Types of Compassion (Karuna Trayaya):
1. Attitude of Loving Compassion (Ordinary Personalized Compassion). 2. Compassion Which Comes from Understanding Emptiness of Conditioned
Dharmas (Dharma Shunyata). Causes and conditions have no nature; Their very substance is emptiness. 3. Great Compassion (Maha Karuna -
Buddha and living beings are of the same substance, without distinction -- the identical substance of all beings.
3. "For all internal illnesses, use the Jeweled Bowl Arogya Hasta Mantra 3 (42): "HU LU HU LU SYI LI. NAN. JR LI JR LI. WA DZ LA. HUNG PAN
JA."
12. "For getting rid of evil obstacles and difficulties, use the White Whisk Vanish the Piled-Up Killing Karma Hasta Mantra 13 (34):
"MWO MWO. NAN. BWO NWO MI NING. PE YE WA DI. MWO HE YE RE. YE MWO HE NING. SA WA HE."
In the Sanghata Sutra it is stated by Shakyamuni Buddha to the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Sarvashura, "Sarvashura, anyone who hears this Sangha Sutra
Dharma-Paryaya, for 1,000 eons, they will abandon killing." Earth Store Sutra states: "Earth Store Bodhisattva said to the Buddha, "World-Honored
One, in the past, numberless asamkhyeyas of kalpas ago, a Buddha named Boundless Body Thus Come One, appeared in the world. If a man or
woman hears the Buddha's name and even temporarily gives rise to a thought of respect, that person will overstep the heavy offenses of forty aeons of
birth and death. How much more will one be able to do this if one sculpts or paints this Buddha's image, or praises and makes offerings to him. The
merit obtained is limitless and unbounded." Hence, one can chant 5x " OM NAMO BOUNDLESS BODY BUDDHA SWAHA."

• What is the relationship between cause and effect?
Cause is conceived effort; Effort is revealed cause.
The Shurangama Sutra says:
The Buddha said to Ananda, “All living beings, from beginningless time onward and in all kinds of upside-down ways, have created
seeds of karma which naturally run their course, like the aksha cluster."
Commentary by the Venerable Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua:
They have created seeds of karma which naturally run their course, like the aksha cluster. Living beings’ ignorance leads them to act
in upside-down ways, and their various upside-down acts create every kind of karma. According to their various karmas, they undergo
various retributions. Why do people do evil things? It is because of their ignorance, their lack of understanding, their state of delusion.
Their delusion leads to the creation of bad karma, and since they create bad karma they undergo the retribution of suffering. It is threepart
process: delusion, leading to the creation of bad karma, which leads to the retribution of suffering. The Buddha compares the
process to the aksha, a shrub found in India which bears three fruits in a cluster on one stem. Though you may have never seen an
aksha, the sutra makes the meaning clear, and one cannot fail to understand it. The aksha cluster represents the three fruits of
delusion, karma, and retribution, which are interconnected as if they were joined on a single stem. You can’t say which
precedes the other; they follow after one another in a continuous revolution, life after life, aeon after aeon. Where would you
say it all began? There is no beginning. It’s an endless cycle on the spinning wheel of the six paths of rebirth (heavenly realms, asura
realms, human realms, animal realms, ghost realms, hell realms).
Each of us people born here in the world is like a fine mote of dust which suddenly rises high, suddenly falls low, is suddenly up and
suddenly down. When your actions are good and meritorious you are born higher. When you do things which create offenses, you fall.
Therefore we people should do good things and accomplish meritorious deeds. Don’t do things which create offenses because this
world runs on the principle of cause and effect, the law of karma. And the seeds of karma naturally run their course: you undergo a
retribution for whatever you do.
There is a distinction between “karma” and “cause.” It is said that whenever you plant a cause, you reap its effect. A cause is a
particular action which will lead in the future to a particular effect. Karma is the general process by which this inevitably happens. It’s
like planting a seed in the ground in the spring: this is the cause which, at the end of the growing season, brings about the effect of the
harvest in the autumn. The entire process, from planting through months of growth to maturity and harvest, is karma. The causes you
plant will determine what harvest you reap. If you plant good causes, you will reap good results. If you plant bad causes you will reap
bad results.
Your karma is made up of whatever you ordinarily do most. For example, when you run a business you engage in “commercial
karma.” Your occupational karma can be good karma or bad. If you are a butcher, for example, you have the occupational karma of
killing; if you are a thief, your occupational karma is stealing; if you do nothing but engage in illicit sexual affairs, you have the
occupational karma of lust. If you never tell the truth, your occupational karma is lying. In general, whatever you do continually is
your karma, and your retribution will be in accordance with it.

Thus karma is created from the very first ignorant thought, and from karma born of ignorance comes retribution. The three together
like an aksha cluster. This is how the Buddha clearly explains the process of karma to Ananda in this passage.

• What are some examples and causes and their effects?
The Buddha told the Four Heavenly Kings, "Excellent, excellent. Now to bring vast benefit to you, as well as to the humans and gods
of the future, I shall speak of Earth Store Bodhisattva's works in the paths of birth and death in Jambudvipa in the Saha World. I shall
speak of his expedient devices, and of his kindness and pity in rescuing, saving, taking across, and liberating all living beings who are
suffering for their offenses.'
The Four Heavenly Kings replied, "Indeed, World-Honored One, we would like to hear about his work."
The Buddha told the Four Heavenly Kings, "From kalpas long ago to the present, Earth Store Bodhisattva has liberated and taken
across living beings; yet out of kindness and pity for those beings still suffering for their offenses in this world, he has not yet
completed his vows. Moreover, he sees that their causes for limitless kalpas in the future are like uncut vines, and because of this he
renews his mighty vows. Thus, in the continent of Jambudvipa, in the Saha World, this Bodhisattva teaches and transforms beings by
means of hundreds of thousands of ten thousands of millions of expedient devices.
1. "Four Heavenly Kings, if he meets those who take life, Earth Store Bodhisattva speaks of a short lifespan.
2. If he meets robbers and petty thieves, he speaks of a retribution of poverty and acute suffering.
3. If he meets those who practice sexual misconduct, he speaks of the retribution of being born as pigeons and mandarin ducks
and drakes.
4. If he meets those of harsh speech, he speaks of the retribution of a quarreling family.
5. "If he meets slanderers, he speaks of the retribution of a tongueless and cankerous mouth.
6. If he meets those with anger and hatred, he speaks of being ugly and crippled.
7. If he meets those who are stingy, he speaks of frustrated desires.
8. If he meets gluttons, he speaks of the retribution of hunger, thirst, and sickness of the throat.
9. If he meets those who enjoy hunting, he speaks of a frightening insanity and disastrous fate.
10. If he meets those who rebel against their parents, he speaks of the retribution of being killed in natural disasters.
11. If he meets those who set fire to mountains or forests, he speaks of the retribution of seeking to commit suicide in the
confusion of insanity.

12. If he meets malicious parent or step-parents, he speaks of the retribution of being flogged in future lives.
13. If he meets those who net and trap young animals, he speaks of the retribution of being separated from their own children.
14. If he meets those who slander the Triple Jewel, he speaks of the retribution of being blind, deaf or mute.
15. If he meets those who slight the Dharma and regard the teachings with arrogance, he speaks of the retribution of dwelling in
the evil paths forever.
16. If he meets those who destroy or misuse the possessions of the permanently dwelling, he speaks of the retribution of
revolving in the hells for millions of kalpas.
17. If he meets those who defile the pure conduct of others and falsely accuse the Sangha, he speaks of the retribution of eternity
in the animal realm.
18. If he meets those who scald, burn, chop up, behead, or otherwise harm living beings, he speaks of the retribution of
repayment in kind.
19. "If he meets those who violate precepts and the regulations of pure eating, he speaks of the retribution of being born as birds
and beasts suffering from hunger and thirst.
20. If he meets those who make unprincipled and destructive use of things, he speaks of the retribution of never obtaining what
they seek.
21. If he meets those who are arrogant and haughty, speaks of the retribution of being servile and of low station.
22. If he meets those whose double-tongued behavior causes dissension and discord, he speaks of a retribution of tonguelessness
and speech impediments.
23. If he meets those with deviant views, he speaks of the retribution of rebirth in the frontier regions.
"This is a general description of the hundreds of thousands of differing retributions resulting from the habitual evil deeds of body,
mouth, and mind committed by the living being of the Jambudvipa. Since living beings have such differing karmic responses, Earth
Store Bodhisattva uses hundreds of thousands of expedient means to teach and transform them. The living beings who commit
offenses must first undergo retributions such as these, and then fall into the hells, where they pass through kalpas with no moment of
escape. You should therefore protect people and protect their countries. Do not allow living beings to be confused by these manifold
deeds."
On hearing this, the Four heavenly Kings wept sorrowfully, placed their palms together, and withdrew.

The Shurangama Sutra (Volume-Chapter 7) with Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua's commentary answers this so clearly -- what are the
heavenly karmic rewards that come from: 1. moderate and balanced application of one's sexual desire, 2. restrained application of
one's sexual desire, or 3. detached or renounced transformation of sexual desire?
The Yogic path of the ancient Vedas and modern Hinduism, the Christian monastic path, and the Buddhist monastic and yogic path all
speak of the importance of Brahmacharya (pure conduct of celibacy) as the highest vehicle to preserving and protecting one's essence
(ojas), breath (qi-prana) and spirit (atman, soul, pure consciousness [alaya vijnana]) to develop one's wisdom light. At the end of 40
hours of teachings on Tantra, Lama Zopa Rinpoche (www.fpmt.org) said "The summary of the entire path of tantra is: Keep the mind
away from the objects of the sense's desires."

“Ananda, there are many people in the world who do not seek what is eternal.” This can mean that they do not seek to eternally

Destiny of Gods, page 209
Shurangama Sutra Commentary by Venerable Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua:
“But they have no interest in deviant sexual activity.” Having sexual activity with someone other than one’s spouse is called
“deviant.” That which occurs within the marriage is not considered to be lust and is not deviant. However, it is better to be sparing
about such activity, even in marriage. It should not be excessive. When you cultivate the Way, no matter how much merit and virtue
you may have, you must not engage in deviant lustful activity. If you cultivate, but cannot cut off such activity, then you won’t be
successful no matter how hard you work at cultivation. These people being discussed in the text here are not interested in deviant lust,
“And so develop a purity and produce light.” If one does not pursue lustful activity, one will be pure, and out of that purity will
come light – the natural light of virtue. So it is said:
Of all the myriad evils,
lust is the foremost.
Don’t go down that road to death!
If one does not engage in deviant lust, then one’s essence, breath, and spirit will be full and complete. From that fullness comes the
virtuous light. During one’s life one will glow and radiate with light.

“When their life ends, they draw near the sun and moon and are among those born in the Heaven of the Four Kings.” This
kind of rebirth includes a lot of people. One knows not how many people fit this category.
The Heaven of the Four Kings is located halfway up Mount Sumeru. It is the heaven closest to our human realm. The gods in this
heaven have a lifespan of five hundred years. One day and night in that heaven is equivalent to fifty years in the human realm. So their
lifespan is nine million years if calculated according to our time.

and did not get involved with any other woman. The same holds true for women: they did not get involved with any man other than
their own husbands. Beings born in the Heaven of the Four Kings did not have lovers when they were in the human realm.
Now the text discusses people who have decreased their sexual activity within the marriage. It can apply either to wives with regard to
their husbands, or husbands with regard to their wives. “Slight” means that they very, very seldom engaged in this practice. They
might not get involved with one another even once in a year, or they might go for several years getting involved only once. They do
not look upon sexual activity as important.
Why do some people have such heavy sexual desire? It’s because of the heaviness of their karmic obstacles. Someone with few
karmic obstacles, however, will not have such thoughts. Heavy karmic obstacles pursue people and cause them to think of nothing else
but sex from morning till night. Such thoughts never stop. But it’s just in the midst of such heavy karmic obstacles that you should
wake up and realize that you should decrease your karmic obstacles. If you simply go along with your karmic obstacles, then the
farther you go, the further you fall. In the future it’s for certain you will become a cow or horse, a pig or a dog. And this kind of
rebirth will go on and on without cease. Why? Because your emotional desire is too heavy. It will certainly cause you to fall. It’s very
dangerous. Although the people discussed in this passage of text have very little regard for sexual activity, they still have not obtained
the entire flavor of dwelling in purity. They have not gained genuine purity and its advantages, because they don’t know how to
cultivate. “At the end of their lives, then, they will transcend the light of sun and moon and reside at the summit of the human
realm.” Because they don’t have much emotional desire, the light of their self-nature comes forth. Anyone who does not have
emotional desire will have light and will be able to be reborn in the heavens. These people are “among those born in the
Trayastrimsha Heaven.” “Trayastrimsha” is Sanskrit and means Heaven “of the Thirty-Three.” The Lord of the Heaven of the
Thirty-Three resides above our heads. There are eight heavens in the east, eight in the west, eight in the north, and eight in the south,
making thirty-two; the thirty-third is located among the others in the center and is at the peak of Mt. Sumeru.
How did the Lord of the Heaven of the Thirty-Three get reborn there? Originally she was a poor woman who saw a stupa which was
falling apart. She resolved to repair it and set about begging and working to make the money to do it. Meanwhile, she got together
with thirty-two friends; they had a meeting and decided to repair the stupa with their combined efforts. After they died, the thirty-two
became Lords of the accompanying heavens and the woman became the Lord of the thirty-third heaven. The lifespan of the gods in
the Heaven of the Thirty-Three is a thousand years. A hundred years of human time makes up one day and night in that heaven. As we
progress upwards, the inhabitants of each higher heaven have a lifespan double that of the heaven below. The heights of the gods also

L3 Suyama heaven.
Namo Shurangama Sutra:
“Those who become temporarily involved when they meet with desire but who forget about it when it is finished, and who,
while in the human realm, are active less and quiet more, abide at the end of their lives in light and emptiness where the
illumination of sun and moon does not reach. These beings have their own light, and they are among those born in the Suyama
Heaven.
Shurangama Sutra Commentary by Venerable Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua:
There is a certain category of people in the world “who become temporarily involved when they meet with desire but who forget
about it when it is finished.” This refers to the activity of married couples. Although occasionally they engage in sexual intercourse,
these people forget about it when it’s gone by. They don’t think about it afterwards. “While they are in the human realm, are active
less and quiet more.” That means they spend the greater part of their time practicing Ch’an samadhi. They will “abide at the end of
their lives in light and emptiness where the illumination of sun and moon does not reach.” The light of the sun and moon do not
shine where these people go. “These beings have their own light” when they reach that place in emptiness. Their own bodies emit an
everlasting light, and so at that place there is no day and night. It’s always light there. How then do they reckon the passage of time?
They use the lotus flower. When the flower opens they know it is day; when the flower closes, it is night. These beings “are among
those born in the Suyama Heaven.” Their average height is two hundred twenty-five feet. Their lifespan is two thousand of their
years. “Suyama” means “well-divided
time” because it’s always light there, day and night.
Destiny of Gods 213
L4 Tushita heaven.
Namo Shurangama Sutra:
“Those who are quiet all the time, but who are not yet able to resist when stimulated by contact, ascend at the end of their lives
to a subtle and ethereal place; they will not be drawn into the lower realms. The destruction of the realms of humans and gods
and the obliteration of kalpas by the three disasters will not reach them, for they are among those born in the Tushita Heaven.
Shurangama Sutra Commentary by Venerable Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua:
In this heaven there is an inner and an outer court. In the outer court the common gods dwell, and in the inner court Sages dwell. At
present, Maitreya Bodhisattva dwells in the inner court of the Tushita Heaven. He is explaining about the Samadhi of Mind
Consciousness Only. “Those who are quiet all the time, but who are not yet able to resist when stimulated by contact, ascend at
the end of their lives to a subtle and ethereal place; they will not be drawn into the lower realms.” At all times and in all
situations they never move. They are very tranquil. However, when an occasion arises for sexual intercourse, it’s not for certain that
they will not get involved. But they don’t really want to get involved. They may occasionally indulge in this activity, but very, very
rarely. At death these people who have few desires and are content will ascend; their souls will go to a subtle and ethereal place and
will not fall down. “The destruction of the realms of humans and gods and the obliteration of kalpas by the three disasters will
not reach them, for they are among those born in the Tushita Heaven.” The three disasters are.
1) the disaster of fire
2) the disaster of water
3) the disaster of wind
Fire burns through the first dhyana, water drowns the second dhyana, and wind devastates the third dhyana. But because Bodhisattvas
reside in this Tushita Heaven, the three disasters cannot reach it. “Tushita” means “having few desires and being content.” They
simply don’t have any greed. They are devoid of sexual desire. So if you want to get reborn in the heavens, just have few desires and
be content. To have strong emotions and to forever be thinking of that kind of thing, never being able to put it down for even an

instant, though – that’s very dangerous indeed. It is, in fact, the most perilous matter of all. It’s the source of one’s fall. If you don’t
fear the fall, then think about that kind of stuff as much as you want. If you are afraid of falling, then quickly stop those emotional
thoughts. If you don’t stop, there’s no telling where you’ll end up in the future.
L5 Heaven of bliss by transformation.
Om Namo Shurangama Sutra:
“Those who are devoid of desire, but who will engage in it for the sake of their partner, even though the flavor of doing so is
like the flavor of chewing wax, are born at the end of their lives in a place of transcending transformations. They are among
those born in the Heaven of Bliss by Transformation.
Shurangama Sutra Commentary by Venerable Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua:
“Those who are devoid of desire, but who will engage in it for the sake of their partner, even though the flavor of doing so is
like the flavor of chewing wax, are born at the end of their lives in a place of transcending transformations.” “I don’t have any
desire at all, but you persist. You insist we do this thing.” That’s what transpires between couples where one partner is devoid of
sexual desire while the other isn’t. The one with desire pursues the one without desire. Have you ever chewed wax? Well, you can
chew forever but you’ll never get any taste from it. That’s the analogy used to indicate that this kind of person gets no pleasure out of
sex. They just don’t have any thoughts of lust. After hearing this principle, you should certainly take care to control yourself.
Don’t be loose any more. Don’t run headlong down the road to death.’ The rebirth of the kinds of beings discussed here transcends
those of the heavens discussed earlier; “They are among those born in the Heaven of Bliss by Transformation.” Everything in
their environment is transformed. It is an extremely blissful place – unspeakably joyous. But the bliss referred to is not like that of
ordinary sexual involvement. It is a natural bliss. However, it is not an ultimate place of rebirth. It is still within the six desire heavens.
The gods in this heaven are three thousand and seventy-five feet tall. One day and night in that heaven is equal to eight hundred years
among people, and their lifespan is eight thousand of their years.
L6 Heaven of the comfort from others’ transformations.
Namo Shurangama Sutra:
“Those who have no kind of worldly thoughts while doing what worldly people do, who are lucid and beyond such activity
while involved in it, are capable at the end of their lives of entirely transcending states where transformations may be present
and may be lacking. They are among those born in the Heaven of the Comfort from Others’ Transformations.
Shurangama Sutra Commentary by Venerable Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua:
“Those who have no kind of worldly thoughts of sexual desire while doing what worldly people do, who are lucid and beyond
such activity while involved in it” – these are people who occasionally involve themselves in intercourse with their marriage partner.
But for them, not only does it have the flavor of wax, it’s as if nothing were happening at all. They “are capable at the end of their
lives of entirely transcending states where transformations may be present and may be lacking.” They reach a state where they
can go out of their bodies and transform as they please, endlessly. “They are among those born in the Heaven of the Comfort from
Others’ Transformations.” Everything in the environment of the heaven those beings go to does not originate there, but is rather a
transformation made as an offering by beings in other heavens. It’s extremely comfortable there. The bliss is vast, and there’s no work
to be done. There aren’t any servants in that heaven – people who work for a living would starve there – because everything happens
naturally and spontaneously. The bliss is extreme. It’s a lot better than the human realm, that’s for sure. But even though it’s such a
fine place, the beings there will nevertheless fall one day. Once they use up their heavenly blessings, they will fall back to the human
realm or even into the hells – there’s nothing fixed about it. Those heavenly beings are an average of four thousand five hundred feet
tall. One day and night in that heaven is equal to fifteen hundred years on earth, and their lifespan is sixteen thousand of their years.
Those, then, are the Six Desire Heavens. All of the beings in those heavens still have sexual desire in varying degrees. A verse
describes it:
In the Heaven of Four Kings and the Trayastrimsha,

Desire is carried out through embracing.
In the Suyama Heaven, they hold hands,
In the Tushita, they smile.
In the Bliss by Transformation, they gaze,
In the Comfort from Others’, a glance will do.
In the Six Desire Heavens, this is the bliss they take to be true. “In the Heaven of the Four Kings and the Trayastrimsha, desire is
carried out through embracing.” They conduct sexual affairs the same way people do. “In the Suyama Heaven they hold hands; in the
Tushita they smile.” The beings in the Suyama Heaven unite in mind, but not physically. All they have to do to fulfill their sexual
longing is to hold hands. In the Tushita Heaven, they smile. There’s no physical contact involved. “In the Bliss by Transformation,
they gaze. In the Comfort from Others’, a glance will do.” Men and women in the Bliss by Transformation Heaven need only look at
one another – they don’t even have to smile. They stare at each other for maybe three minutes or five minutes; that’s how their sexual
intercourse is completed. In the next heaven a brief glance is sufficient. An instant is all it takes. The higher the heaven, the lighter the
thoughts of sexual desire. This is a true principle; you should understand it clearly. Once you do, you’ll be able to genuinely
understand the Buddhadharma, for you will know that sexual desire is tremendously harmful. Do you remember the earlier passage in
the Sutra that says Bodhisattvas look upon sexual desire as they would a poisonous snake? They know they will be bitten to death.
People’s ordinary flesh-eyes cannot see how fierce it is. That’s why they spend all their time, day and night, thinking about this nasty
thing. They can’t put it down. If you really understood, I think you wouldn’t be so confused and upside down about it.
K3 Determines these belong to the desire realm.
Namo Shurangama Sutra:
“Ananda, thus it is that although they have transcended the physical in these six heavens, the traces of their minds still become
involved. For that they will have to pay in person. These are called the Six Desire Heavens.
Shurangama Sutra Commentary by Venerable Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua:
“Ananda, thus it is that although they have transcended the physical in these six heavens, the traces of their minds still
become involved.” Although they have transcended the physical plane, they still get hung up mentally. Their minds, natures, and
bodies still act out thoughts of sexual desire. “For that they will have to pay in person. These are called the Six Desire Heavens.”
These heavens, from the Heaven of the Four Kings to the Heaven of Comfort from Others’ Transformations, are called the Six Desire
Heavens. The heavens are still in the Desire Realm because the beings in them are not totally pure. They still have thoughts of sexual
desire.

don’t have any genuine wisdom. What they can do is control their own bodies and refrain from engaging in lust. “Whether walking
or sitting, or in their thoughts, they are totally devoid of it.” Walking, standing, sitting, and lying down – even in their sleep – at all
times and in all places “they do not give rise to defiling love.” No matter how beautiful an object of form they may see, they do not
give rise to defiling thoughts of love, and so ”they do not remain in the realm of desire. These people can, in response to their
thought, take on the bodies of Brahma beings.” They join with other pure beings. None of them have any desire. “They are among
those in the Heaven of the Multitudes of Brahma.” They become part of the pure beings who inhabit this heaven. Each is a part of
that general heavenly multitude – one among many.

The Five Elements and Their Attributes: Space, Air, Fire, Water, Earth and their
Qualities and Effects on Body, Emotions, Mind, Behaviors and Consciousness AYR108
• How are the 5 elements manifested in the body?
Ether: Whole body takes up space in the world, spaces in the bones, neuro-synaptic spaces, colon, distraction and spaciness, lack
of mental focus; "We are a spacious system." Communication, joint spaces, hearing sense.
Air: Gas in the colon/blood, respiratory gases, motor response, touch perception, sensation, emotional fear and anxiety;
peristalsis; any bodily movements including muscle movement, locomotion, heartbeat, circulation, nerve impulse, expansion
and contraction of the lungs.
Fire: Digestion of nutrients, thoughts and emotions; metabolism; intelligence both cellular and of the organism as a whole; HCl,
bile and insulin; neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, enzymes, vision, thinking.
Water: Body is mostly water, in lymph and blood (because of plasma and serum), CSF, secretion of digestive fluids,
interstitial/cytoplasmic fluid, brings contentment.
Earth: Bones, hair, nails and teeth; the non-water content of muscles, tendons, skin, tumors, all minerals, groundedness, stability,
resistance to change, attachment.
• How would you explain the concept of the 5 elements to the modern scientist?
In the western view, the fundamental unit of the universe is the atom. Each atom has specific unique characteristics- an atomic
weight, a number of protons, neutrons and electrons and behavioral habits. In Ayurveda, these ‘unique characteristics’ are
descriptions of ‘gunas,’ meaning qualities. The fundamental nature of the universe is known by its functional characteristics.
The 5 elements are the fundamental material branch of how these qualities exist. (To exist, every quality (guna) needs an
associated action (karma).) Ether is a combination of light, subtle, clear, soft, cold, expansive and non-restrictive. Unlike atomic

theory, which can require some very technical equipment to discern its constituent atoms, all structures and functions in the
Ayurvedic world can be identified by examining their functions and characteristics.
• What are the cognitive organs?
Evolving from Sattva, they are the sense faculties: ears (space), skin (air), eyes (fire), tongue (water) and nose (earth).
• What are the motor organs?
Evolving from Sattva, these are the organs of action: mouth (space), hands (air), feet (fire), reproductive organs (water - "lower
tongue") and excretory organs (earth).
• What is the relationship between the pancha maha bhutas and the karmendriyani?
Pancha maha bhutas are the 5 elements that make up our world. Karma = action + indryani = senses; Karmendriyani = the actions
of the senses. Each element has a corresponding tanmatra, which is the guna or the sense organ quality of itself and in action, this
is karmendriyani. Earth is related to smelling; water to tasting; fire to seeing; air to touching and ether to hearing.
• What is mind - a motor or cognitive organ? Mind is both a motor organ (karmendriya) and an organ of cognition (sense
organ - buddhendriya).
• What are the Ayurvedic properties and functions of the mind?
The mind is known as antah karana = the inner equipment. It includes manas-mind (also called samjna), buddhi-intellect, chittaconsciousness
(also called vijnana with the most subtle aspect being the alaya vijnana or the "eighth consciousness"), ahamkaraego.
The properties of the mind are defined by Sattva-Rajas-Tamas (Trigunas): Sattva is light, clarity, compassion and love.
Rajas is movement, aggression, agitation, and attachment. Tamas is heavy, dull, depressed, and drowsy. The mind functions to
take experiences from the senses and send them to the buddhi within to be processed. This is done according to the doshas. Vata
carries sensation from sense organs to the mind and creates feelings. Pitta turns sensation into recognition and understanding.
Kapha stores the experiences as memory.

131. Describe the sattvic, rajasic and tamasic aspects of mind.
The sattvic mind has clarity, purity and love. It functions directly within the moment, always initiating compassion and responding
with honesty and clarity. Originally creating mind, sattva is our mind’s fundamental nature. The rajasic mind is full of heavy
traffic. It is always moving and thoughts run through one after the other. The tamasic mind is heavy, dull and can tend towards
depression. Thoughts can be thick and slow and uninteresting.
132. How are sattva, rajas and tamas related to vata, pitta and kapha?
With its basis in intelligence and clarity, sattva corresponds to the brightness of pitta. Rajas, embodying dynamic movement,
corresponds to vata dosha. Kapha and tamas share the qualities of heavy, dull and slow. These are the qualitative relationships. In
terms of origination, sattva, rajas and tamas descend from ahamkara and Mahat- cosmic intelligence. Vata, pitta and kapha are
compositions of the 5 elements and therefore descend from tamas.
133. How is the rajasic quality expressed doshically? sattvic quality? tamasic?
Rajas has the qualities of dynamic movement, which corresponds to the guna chala, mobile, of vata dosha. Sattva has the qualities
of essence and clarity, corresponding to the gunas vishada- clarity, laghu- light, and sukshma- subtle, and tikshna- penetrating.
Sharp and light are pitta qualities, although the clear and subtle are like the ether element present in vata dosha. Tamas and kapha
match easily, both being guru- heavy, sthira- stable, sthula- gross, mritsna- earthy, picchila- sticky and cloudy, and sandra- dense.
So tamas is doshically expressed through those qualities of kapha.
134. To which of the maha gunas (trigunas) does vata primarily belong? Pitta? Kapha?
Vata primarily belongs to rajas, although shares many qualities with sattva as well. Pitta mirrors sattva and kapha reflects the
heaviness of tamas.

• What is the difference between dry and rough?
In some cases, rough is a further evolution of dry; for example: the skin first gets dry and then with chronic dryness, can become
rough. On their own, dryness is directly a result of dehydration, whereas roughness is a catabolic action in nature.
• What’s the opposite of rough? shlakshna - smooth and slimy
• What’s the difference between laghu of vata and laghu of pitta?
Laghu means light. Pitta’s laghu is describing a quality of luminosity. It is the light of a flame - bright, brilliant, ascending and
affording sight. Vata’s light concerns mass and describes the lightness of emaciation, osteoporosis, and forgetfulness.

(wind element) is taught.
N4 Vaidurya Bodhisattva: the wind element.
Namo Shurangama Sutra:
The Dharma Prince Vaidurya Light arose from his seat, bowed at the Buddha’s feet, and said to the Buddha, “I can still
remember back through aeons as many as the sands in the Ganges to the time of a Buddha named ‘Limitless Sound,’ who
instructed the Bodhisattvas that fundamental enlightenment is wonderful and bright. He taught them to contemplate this
world and all the beings in it as false conditions propelled by the power of wind.

The Dharma Prince Vaidurya Light: “Vaidurya” is a blue gemstone called Lapis Lazuli. “Dharma Prince” is a title given to
Bodhisattvas. He arose from his seat, bowed at the Buddha’s feet, and said to the Buddha, “I can still remember back through
aeons as many as the sands in the Ganges to the time of a Buddha named ‘Limitless Sound.’ The Buddha called Limitless Sound
instructed the Bodhisattvas that fundamental enlightenment is wonderful and bright. He taught them to contemplate this
world and all the beings in it as false conditions propelled by the power of wind.” The Dharma Prince Vaidurya Light
accomplished his deeds in the Way through the element wind.
Namo Shurangama Sutra:
“At that time, I contemplated the position of the world, and I regarded the passage of time in the world. I
reflected on the movement and stillness in my body. I considered the arising of thoughts in the mind. All these
kinds of movement were non-dual; they were equal and the same.
Shurangama Sutra Commentary by Venerable Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua:
“At that time, I contemplated the position of the world, that is, how the world-system was established. I regarded the passage of
time in the world. I looked into the course of past, present, and future. I reflected on the movement and stillness in my body. I
considered the arising of thoughts in the mind.” As soon as we give rise to thought, we have created wind (vata-disturbance) within
our minds. Once there is wind in our minds, the many kinds of external winds arise. “All these kinds of movement were non-dual.
The substance and appearance of all the various movements are equal and the same. There is no distinction to be made among them.”
Namo Shurangama Sutra:
“I then understood that the nature of movement does not come from anywhere and does not go anywhere. Every
single material particle throughout the ten directions and every upside-down living being in it is of the same empty
falseness.

comprehended the essence of movement. Every single material particle throughout the ten directions and every upside-down
living being in it is of the same empty falseness. They are all empty and false, created from one identical illusion.
Sutra:
“And so, throughout the three-thousand-great-thousand worlds, the living beings in each of the worlds were like so many
mosquitoes confined in a trap and droning monotonously. Caught in those few square inches, their hum built to a maddening
crescendo. Not long after I encountered the Buddha, I attained patience with the non-production of dharmas.
Commentary:
And so, throughout the three-thousand-great-thousand worlds – so it goes, from one world to a small-thousands of worlds, on
through a thousand small-thousands of worlds – that is, a middle-thousands of world-systems – and on through a thousand middlethousands
of worlds, which makes a great thousands of worlds. All through the three-thousand-great-thousand worlds, the living
beings in each of the worlds were like so many mosquitoes confined in a trap and droning monotonously. They were like a great
mass o£ mosquitoes trapped in a vessel. Each mosquito in the container emitted its own sound. Caught in those few square inches,
their hum built to a maddening crescendo. Inside such a small space, their droning reverberated madly. I contemplated in this way,
and not long after I encountered the Buddha, I attained patience with the non-production of dharmas.”

Sutra:
“My mind then opened, and I could see the country of the Buddha, ’Unmoving,’ in the east. I became a Dharma Prince and
served the Buddhas of the ten directions. My body and mind emit a light that make them completely clear and translucent.

“My mind then opened, and I could see the country of the Buddha, ‘Unmoving,’ in the east. I worked at perfecting this skill for a
long time with a concentrated mind, allowing no other false thoughts to enter. Eventually I became enlightened, my mind opened, and
I could see Akshobhya Medicine Master Buddha, in the east.” He is known as the Buddha Unmoving and also as the Vajra Buddha. I
became a Dharma Prince at that place, and served the Buddhas of the ten directions. My body and mind emit a light that make
them completely clear and translucent. I kept cultivating until my mind had light and my body had light. It penetrated within and
without and was totally unhindered.”
Sutra:
“The Buddha asks about perfect penetration. I contemplated the power of wind as lacking anything to rely on, and I
awakened to the Bodhi-mind. I entered samadhi and meshed with the single, wonderful mind transmitted by all the Buddhas
of the ten directions. This is the foremost method.”

Commentary:
“The Buddha asks about perfect penetration. I contemplated the power of wind as lacking anything to rely on. That is, the wind
has no substantial nature of its own – it has no self-nature. From this I awakened to the Bodhi-mind. I entered samadhi and
meshed with the single, wonderful mind transmitted by all the Buddhas of the ten directions. I received the transmission of the
Buddha’s mind-seal Dharma-door. This is the foremost method. The Dharma-door of contemplating the unmoving power of wind is
the best way, I think. I accomplished
my Way-karma by contemplating the element wind.”

There are 6 tastes: madhura - sweet, amla - sour, lavana - salty, katu - pungent, tikta - bitter, kashaya - astringent.
• How do the tastes affect each dosha?
sweet: ↓V ↓P ↑K sutra 13
sour: ↓V ↑P ↑K
salty: ↓V ↑P ↑K
pungent: ↑V ↑P ↓K
bitter: ↑V ↓P ↓K
astringent: ↑V ↓P ↓K
• Categorize each dosha according to taste. (Which dosha is pungent? What is the effect of astringent on each dosha? If someone
takes excess tikta, what will happen?)
Vata: aggravated by bitter, pungent, and astringent; pacified by sweet, sour, and salty.
Pitta: aggravated by sour, salty and pungent; pacified by astringent, bitter, and sweet.
Kapha: aggravated by sweet, sour and salty; pacified by pungent, bitter and astringent.
Which is pungent: pitta.
Effect of astringent on each? Increases Vata, Decreases Pitta, Increases Kapha
Effect of excess tikta? too much bitter increases the qualities of ether and air, potentially causing osteoporosis, Decreased libido
and constipation (similar to increased vata problems, also of ether and air.)
• What are rasa, virya, vipaka and prabhava?
This is the system of Ayurvedic pharmacology, described by the effects of ingested substances on the body.
Rasa is taste: there are 6 types - sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent. This is the first impact of food on the body,
occurring in the mouth, yielded by the tongue’s liquidity.
Virya is the effect on the system as the food reaches the stomach. It is described as heating or cooling.
Vipaka is the post-digestive effect. The length of impact depends on the quality of agni; these are summarized as sweet, sour or
pungent.
Prabhava is the power of food. With no direct relationship to R/V/V scheme, this is dynamic, specific and unexplainable impact of
certain foods on the system happening at the cellular - pilu/pithara level.
• Choose a substance that will aggravate vata. pitta? kapha?
Vata: beans, tofu, coffee pitta: chilies, alcohol, vinegar, citrus kapha: meat, cheese, dairy
• What is the rasa, virya, vipaka and prabhava of lime, lemon, potato, jalapeño pepper, amalaki, triphala, garlic, ginger,
banana, mango, cilantro, and any number of other common foods. What effects do these substances have on the doshas?
• What is the difference between dry and fresh ginger? On which dhatu does ginger act?
Fresh ginger = pungent/sweet; heating; sweet vipaka, Decreases Vata, Decreases Pitta, Decreases Kapha (in moderation)
old ginger = pungent/sweet; heating; pungent vipaka, Decreases Vata, Increases Pitta, Decreases Kapha
Ginger acts on rasa dhatu.
• What is the abnormal manifestation of madhu rasa?
• What is the field of action of rasa? virya? vipaka? prabhava?

• Name the 36 types of agni and their functions.
• jathara agni - central gastric fire - runs the whole show
• 7 dhatu agnis - produce the tissues of the body
• 5 bhuta agnis - 5 elements acting in the liver to digest food
• 15 doshic agnis - for the 3 doshas broken into their 5 sub-doshas; maintains sub-doshic balance
• 5 indriya agnis - 5 senses which process sensation
• pilu/pithara agni - 2 cellular agnis which function to maintain cellular permeability and nourish mind and consciousness at
the most fundamental level
• kloma agni - mainly in the pancreas, governs digestion of proteins and carbohydrates; also in brain to govern thirst.
What is the functional difference between ranjaka agni and bhutagni?
Ranjaka changes rasa into rakta in the liver, which creates RBC. Bhuta agnis, with their 5 elemental components - nabhasa-ether,
vayavya-air, tejas-fire, ap-water, parthiva-earth, function to transform food particles into nutrient molecules that the body can then
circulate and incorporate into tissues.
• What are the clinical stages of agni (3 imbalanced and 1 balanced) and what are their physical manifestations?
• Vishama agni: Vata; irregular appetite and digestion, signs and symptoms = diarrhea then constipation, ama present, irregular
habits on eating times, foods and quantities; can be irregularly irregular - v or regularly irregular - Vata pushing Pitta
• Tikshna agni: Pitta; very high appetite and digestion; signs and symptoms = hypoglycemia, lack of nutrients because ingested
food is turned to ash, thin frame, irritable without regular feeding times, eats lots and often, excess heat in the body, depletion
of ojas
• manda agni: Kapha; slow digestion, signs and symptoms = scanty appetite, tired after eating, eating small portion and full for
a long time, tejas depletion, lack of cellular communication and clarity, ama is present
• sama agni: Balanced Vata-Pitta-Kapha; balanced, healthy and beautiful digestion. Tongue is clear, eyes are bright, stools
float. Digestion, absorption and assimilation are all effective and complete.
• How do the 3 types of agni manifest mentally and emotionally?
vishama: indecision, fickleness, instability, worry, hypersensitivity, insecurity, feeling of helplessness, moodiness
tikshna: competition, anger, jealousy, hot temper, impatience, grouchiness, inability to concentrate due to lightness
manda: dullness, lethargy, greed, slowness, confusion, depression, lack of enthusiasm, indifference
• What diseases are associated with each of the 3 types of clinical agni?
vishama: profuse ama, arthritis, Parkinson's, malabsorption, sprue syndrome
pitta: inflammation, hyperacidity, emaciation, fatigue, malnutrition, ulceration, perforation
manda: obesity, diabetes, gallstones, kidney stones, hypertension, tuberculosis (TB), increased cholesterol / triglycerides
• What is the manifestation of tikshna agni?
This is associated with high pitta. It is sharp agni with a strong appetite, hypoglycemia, the capability of digesting anything in
unusual amounts. In tikshna agni, the digestive fire is so strong that the food energy is used up by the agni and not many nutrients
are left over. This happens often in abusive lifestyles.
• How do you treat imbalanced agni?
After discerning the nature of imbalance, use counter-acting lifestyle, herbs and diet to correct the dysfunction. To kindle manda
agni and digest toxins, use bitter, pungent and astringent foods and only the proper food combination in the proper amount and only
eat when hungry. Chitrak will balance agni. Also to kindle agni, do dipana: use herbs like chitrak, trikatu, pippali, and saffron. Eat a
lime with ginger and salt before food, hot water, agni tea, and triphala. Manda agni sufferers should eat light foods. Vishama
people should eat regularly on schedule. Tikshna people should eat heavier, more grounding, substance oriented foods.

• What is the definition of agni?
Agni is the source of life and the biological fire that transforms food into consciousness and sensation into experience. Agni is the
fundamental principle of assessment and treatment in Ayurveda in that it governs our interactions with our environment on every
level. Agni is the bridge between the human and the divine, between the lower and higher self. Agni is a flame that governs our
metabolic processes, neutralizes toxins and gives nutrition to the tissues. Agni’s functions summarized: A = awareness of every cell;
G = governor or digestion and assimilation; N = neutralizes toxins and does nutrition; I = intelligence principle
• Describe the functional involvement of dhatu agni with asthayi agni, sthayi agni, dhatu kala, upadhatu and dhatu mala.
This is the process of tissue formation and maturation. Ahararasa filters through the GI tract, is amended and packaged by bhuta
agnis, and enters into circulation, arriving at the dhatu of choice. Dhatu kala, the membrane protecting and supporting the dhatu,
selects the appropriate nutrients and allows permeability into the tissue. The dhatu agni then goes to work, transforming the raw
nutrients into asthayi tissue - mature tissue of its own type, its upadhatu, secondary tissue type, it’s mala - its associated waste and
the raw material for the next dhatu in the line of development - asthayi dhatu and passes this along. Together, these agnis function to
create and maintain every one of our bodily cells. If any of these agnis are low, the nutrients either remain in their immature, raw
form or they are improperly processed. With this, excess raw tissues abound. For example: ↓mamsa agni leads to excess earwax,
kamala, its associated mala. With high agni, mamsa is burned up without forming any tissue and malnutrition results.
• What is the diagnostic usefulness of this information?
Looking at the signs and symptoms presenting in an individual, it can be assessed which agni is functioning improperly. Knowing
the system of dhatu nutrition allows signs and symptoms to be traced to their origins in the agni conditions.
• What is the definition of ama?
Ama is a morbid substance resulting from improperly or incompletely processed ahararasa (compromised micro-chyle) which
circulates the body looking for khavaigunya and generally raising Hell.
• What are the cardinal signs and symptoms of ama in the body?
Tongue Diagnosis:
Dry, brown coating on the tongue is vata ama;
Greasy, yellow coating on the tongue is pitta ama;
Greasy or mucousy white coating on the tongue is kapha ama
Bowel Movement Diagnosis:
NIRAM PURISHA (Unhealthy Stool) SAMA PURISHA (Healthy Stool)
Heavy Light
Sinks Floats
Sticky Not sticky
Foul smell Slight fecal smell
Sticks to bowl Well formed
Pain Diagnosis:
Pain that is caused by ama is: Heavy, Dull, Mild, Aching, Hair hurting pain, Debilitating, Generalized pain, Heavy coated
tongue, Bad breath, Deep pain, Sleepy, Sweet hunger, Slow and heavy pulse, Confused mind, Just being creates pain, Any season
pain, Drowsy, Lousy

mental ability, poor memory, dry feeble and dehydrated skin, hyperactive mind, lack of clarity, palpitations, fear, chronically
associated with auto-immune disorders. Can be referred to as Chronic Fatigue, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or when more serious
Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome (CFIDS).

• What is the relationship between ojas, tejas, prana and the doshas?
Ojas, tejas and prana have a fundamental functional integrity at the cellular level. Prana is movement and fans the flames of tejas
which burn the substance of ojas into awareness. They are the subtlest essences of the doshas and therefore share many
characteristics: prana and vata are both light, subtle, and have movement. Tejas and pitta are both sharp, hot, luminous and
penetrating. Ojas and kapha are both material substance, heavy and comforting. Being the subtle essence, each component of Ojas-
Tejas-Prana is the content within the larger container of its associated dosha. Tejas is the subtlest essence of transformation, which
exists within the container of agni, which exists on a greater level in the container of pitta.

Sattva (Purity - clarity) and Ahimsa (Do

Beings – Shurangama Sutra, Medicine
Master Buddha Sutra)
Sattva, rajas and tamas are the three gunas or qualities that are described respectively as the subtle essences of
pitta (fire and water), vata (space and air) and kapha (water and earth). Please request from Ven. Losang Jinpa
a copy of the article “Guidelines for Determining One’s Mental Constitution via Buddhist Ayurveda Yoga.”
The Shurangama Sutra (www.BTTSonline.org) says cooked garlic, onions, leeks, shallots, chives or hing makes one over-sexed
(pitta-kapha disorders), and when eaten raw they make one angry (pitta liver disorders). These are called “the five pungent plants” and
ideally should not be eaten by cultivators of a spiritual path unless they are sick and need to take them as medicines for short periods
of time. These six “pungent plants” have a strong effect on the body (rupa skandha in Sanskrit), the emotions (vedana skandha), the
mind (samjna skandha), one’s activities (karma and samskara skandha) and consciousness (vijnana skandha). Namo Vipashin
Buddha!

Verse for Opening a Sutra
The unsurpassed, profound, and wonderful Dharani Sutra and Maha Karuna Mantra,
Is difficult to encounter in hundreds of millions of eons,
And yet, I now see and hear it, receive and uphold it,
And I vow to realize the Buddha's true meaning.
The Great White Canopy Light from the Buddha's Crown Foremost Spiritual Mantra
Mwo he sa dan dwo Bwo da la
– Mwo he sa dan dwo
Bwo da la two lo ni jou
- Om Syi Dan Dwo. Bo Da La.
Shurangama Mantra First Four Lines Invocation:
Na Mwo Sa Dan Two | Su Chye Dwo Ye | E La He Di | San Myau San Pu Two Sye.
"Five Great Heart Mantras" Invocation:
Chr Two Ni | E Jya La | Mi Li Ju | Bwo Li Dan La Ye | Ning Jye Li1
1 The Mantra has five divisions which correspond to the five directions – north, south, east, west, and the middle. The Eastern Division is the Vajra
Division, with Akshobhya Buddha (Medicine Buddha – Bhaisajya Guru) as the teaching host. The Southern Division is the Production-of-Jewels
Division, with Production-of-Jewels Buddha (Ratna Sambhava Buddha) as the teaching host. The Central Division is the Buddha Division, with
Shakyamuni Buddha (Vairochana Buddha) as the teaching host. The Western Division is the Lotus Division, with Amitabha Buddha (Amitayus
Buddha – Amitofou) as the teaching host. The Northern Division is the Karma Division, with Accomplishment Buddha (Amoghasiddhi Buddha) as
the teaching host. There are five divisions, because there are five huge demonic armies in this world. There are demons to the east, south, west, north,
and in the center. Since there are these five demon armies, not just five demons, the Buddhas also cover the five directions to suppress the demons. If
there were no Buddhas, the demons could appear openly in the world.

"‘Well Departed' (Sugata)
describes one who has truly
departed for the other shore
of enlightenment and who
will never fall back into the
sea of birth and death. A
Buddha is called Well
Departed for four reasons:
1. He treads the holy way
of goodness and purity, 2.
He is able to attain
immortal Nirvana (Am¶ta
Nirv±¦a), 3. He is able to
realize supreme
enlightenment
(Anuttarasamyaksa§bodhi)
through mastery of the
perfections (P±ramit±), and
4. His words are always
"Not coming, not going, the illusion of
flowers in a mirror. Neither emptiness, nor
form, the obliqueness of moonlight in
water. Apart from dust, cut off from marks,
where does one dwell? Adding a head on
top of a head is to be like Yajnadatta." (Hua

Shurangama Sutra Verse Spoken by
Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva and Now
Vowed by me as well for the Sake of all
Beings:
"If there are those who are studying
(Arhats), who have severed the twelve
causal conditions, and, having severed the
conditions, reveal a supreme nature, and
who are superior and wonderful and
manifest perfection, I will appear before
them in the body of one enlightened to
conditions and speak dharma for them,
causing them to attain liberation."

• unexcelled perfect enlightenment. A
samyak saṃbuddha is one who through his
own efforts and wisdom understands
dharma, and out of compassion proclaims it
to the world in order to uplift others from
saṃsāra and to lead them to liberation. The
samyak-saṃbodhi is the state pertaining to
a samyak-saṃbuddha. The samyak
saṃbuddha makes others understand
āryasatyāni, namely, suffering, cause of
suffering, cessation of suffering and, way to
cessation of suffering as he has known
them. The śrāvakas and the
pratyekabuddhas attain enlightenment
respectively known as śrāvakabodhi and
pratyekabodhi. Śrāvakabodhi,
pratyekabodhi and samyak-saṃbodhi are
the three modes of enlightenment. The
Bodhisattvas opt for the anuttarā samyaksaṃbodhi
which does not have anything
further and beyond it. (Pali anuttarasammā-
sambodhi)

"A Shrotaapanna is a first

"The first fruit is that of

"Enter now the flow of the Sages' Dharma

by Shakyamuni Buddha and Subhuti
Shravaka:
"Subhuti, what do you think, can a
Shrotaapanna have the thought, ‘I have
obtained the fruit of Shrotaapanna.'?"
Subhuti said, "No, World Honored One.
And why? A Shrotaapanna means One Who
Has Entered the Flow, and yet he has not
entered anything. He has not entered forms,
sounds, smells, tastes, tangible objects, or
dharmas. For that reason he is called a
Shrotaapanna." (A General Explanation of the

delusions terminated, one sits upon a lotus
platform. In empty space, constantly
manifesting the eighteen transformations, In
this realm and other directions, there are a
million changes." (Hua - VBS 4-1983)
Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra: "Subhuti,
what do you think? Can a Sak¶d±g±min
have the thought, ‘I have obtained the fruit
of Sak¶d±g±min.'?" Subhuti said, "No,
World Honored One. And why? A
Sak¶d±g±min means One Who Returns
Once More, but he actually does not have a
returning. For that reason, he is called a
Sakridagamin." (Vajra Sutra, p. 80)

one who has the Sanghata Sutra written out and

In the Sanghata Sutra it is stated: "The
Bodhisattva, the great being Sarvashura said:
"Blessed One, how much is the measure of an
eon?" The Blessed One spoke: "Child of the
lineage, listen. It is as follows. To make an
analogy, a man might erect an enclosure some
twelve yojanas in height, and that enclosure is
completely filled with nothing but sesame seeds.
Then, when one hundred years have passed, that
man casts away a single sesame seed from that
enclosure that is completely filled with sesame
seeds. In such a manner, even when that man has
used up all those sesame seeds, and even the
foundation and base of that enclosure no long
exist, still an eon would not have been used up."

Mahakala is the wrathful
deity (compassionate
ferocity) that destroys mind
chatter and brings our
minds back into attentive
focus. There are many
different colors and forms
of Mahakala, but he
recognized universally as
one of the great protectors
of the Dharma.
Furthermore he is one of
the destructive aspects of
Shiva in Vedic Hinduism,
time being seen as the
destroyer of all things.
This Thangka shows him as
the protector with the Wish

This six-armed Mahakala

Out of Avalokiteshvara’s
eleven faces, ten are
peaceful, but one is
wrathful, representing
Mahakala.
Avalokiteshvara, saddened,
fell unconscious for seven
days, after which he
thought that the world’s
suffering souls needed
results in a hurry without
excessive effort. He then
wished to turn himself into
a wrathful deity in order to
defeat more rapidly and
effectively the obstacles to
the happiness of others.
With this thought the letter
HUM in dark blue color
came out of his heart. That
Hum became Mahakala. It
is not without significance
that in the mantra ‘Om

syllable Hum invokes
energetic powers.

wishes if the wishes were

Mahakala was the personal
tutelary deity for the
Mongol ruler Kublai Khan.
His terrifying imagery
ultimately derives from the
angry form of the Hindu
god Shiva, known as
Bhairava. In Tibetan
iconography he typically
has one head with three
bulging eyes. His eyebrows
are like small flames, and
his beard is made of hooklike
shapes. He can have
two to six arms.
The essential nature of
Mahakala in the Tibetan
pantheon can be gauged
from the fact that he is
worshipped as the Protector
of the tent. Because of the
nomadic nature of the
Tibetan people, much of
their life is spent in arduous
and hazardous travel,
complicated by the
generally hostile
environment they live in.
During their sojourns, they
use the Tent as a temporary
abode, making it a very
important part of their lives.
He is also unquestionably
the most vital Dharampala,
since every monastery, no
matter what the order, has a
shrine devoted to this deity.
Mahakala is propitiated,

Manjushri Bodhisattva is, as explained in
my lectures on the Wonderful Dharma
Lotus Blossom Sutra, the spiritual
grandfather of Shakyamuni Buddha. Sun
Moon Lamp Brilliance Buddha, the last of
twenty thousand Buddhas, had eight sons,
the last of whom was the Buddha
Dipankara, "Burning Lamp," whose
teacher was Dharma Master Wonderful
Light and who bestowed the prediction of
Buddhahood on Shakyamuni Buddha. The
Dharma Master, Wonderful Light, is now
the Bodhisattva Manjushri, who,
consequently, is the master of Burning
Lamp Buddha. Since Shakyamuni Buddha
is the disciple of Burning Lamp Buddha,
the Bodhisattva Manjushri is his spiritual
grandfather and has greater seniority.
Nonetheless, when Shakyamuni Buddha
appeared in the world, Manjushri
Bodhisattva came to be his disciple. Just
think, for a moment, about the state of
such a Bodhisattva, devoid of high, low,
up, down, big, or little. As it says in the
Diamond Sutra, "This Dharma is level and
there is no high or low therein." Master

mantras are very efficacious, very wonderful, and very inconceivable. Some of you say: “I've never heard of those mantras.” You
should open your Dharani Sutra and take a look. You will find: Shen di di tu shu ja.
E re mi di wu du ja.
Shen chi ja.

Bwo lai di.
Ye mi re ja wu du ja.
Jyu lo di ja chi mo ja.
So pe he.
That's the Moonlight Dharani Mantra. There's also the Sunlight Dharani Mantra.
Na mo bo to ju no mi.
Na mo da mo mo he di.
Na mo seng chye do ye ni.
Di li bu bi sa du yen na mwo.
That's the two dharani mantras. I've recited them for you. If you want to study them, you can look them up. If you can't find them,
ask me. They are still here with me. They won't get lostg.
“Illumines the universe of a billion worlds.” The universe of a billion worlds includes the four cardinal points – north, south, east and
west – and the four intermediate directions – northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest. Also included are the zenith, the nadir,
and the four boundlessnesses – the station of boundless emptiness, the station of boundless consciousness, the station of nothing
whatsoever, the station of neither thought nor non-thought. All of these can be illumined. The four great continents and everywhere
else are illumined. And so the verse mentions the four cardinal points, the four intermediate directions, and the four
boundlessnesses. This is just me saying what I feel like, if you don't want to listen, it doesn't matter. Whoever doesn't want to listen
can use cotton to plug up his ears. I don't want to waste your time nor is there any need for me to waste my energy.
The moon palace where Chang-e resides is like a cool and clear canopy. In the moon there is a beautiful woman. The meaning is
that this place is clear and cool, like a clear, cook canopy that shades the myriad creatures.
With twenty-eight constellations attending to the front and back. The twenty-eight constellations are twenty-eight clusters of stars to
the front and back, surrounding on all sides, to attend upon the celestial moon. Do you want to know what the twenty-eight
constellations are? I will recite their names for you. Each name is represented by one character, so there are twenty-eight characters
in all:
jue, kang, di, fang, xin, wei, ji, tou, niu, nu, xu, wei, shi, bi, kui, lou, wei, mao, bi, zi, can, jing, gui, liu, xing, zhang, yi, zhen
If you want to know more about them you can look them up in the Yellow (lunar) Almanac. I don't want to explain all that much. It
would waste your time, and I wouldn't be able to bear that. It would also waste my time, and I'm not willing to do that.

“Although I was blessed by the Thus Come One's spiritual mantra of the Buddha's summit and imperceptibly
received its strength, I still have not heard it myself. The World Honored One, the Thus Come One, the Buddha,
used the spiritual mantra spoken by the transformation Buddha atop the Buddha's summit. And when Manjushri
Bodhisattva came to where I was and recited the mantra, I received the benefit invisibly.” That means that when
Manjushri Bodhisattva got there, he didn't chant the mantra in a loud voice; he merely had to recite it silently to free
Ananda. It's all right to recite the mantra loudly when you are before the Buddhas in the temple, but when you are
out at other places, you can recite it silently and it is just as effective. If you got out on the streets and start
bellowing, “Na mwo Sa Dan Two Su Chye Dwo Ye…” people are going to think you are crazy. You needn't be

attached to some particular ritual and thereby cause people to slander the Dharma, which is what they would be
doing if they said you were crazy. When they commit slander, they commit offenses. You don't want to say, “If he
commits offenses, that's his problem. I'll recite even louder and let him slander even more so that he commits even
greater offenses, and he will surely fall into the hells.” If you have that kind of attitude and intentionally cause
people to commit offenses so that they fall into the hells, then you shouldn't even study the Buddhadharma. People
who study the Buddhadharma are sympathetic and compassionate toward others. Their attitude is to do nothing that
would cause anyone else to fall into the hells, even to the point that they would rather go to the hells themselves than
cause anyone else to go. That's the way you should be. You cannot think, “He slandered me, let him fall into the
hells.” Or, “If I have a run-in with someone, I will go after them and recite the Shurangama Mantra, and then when
they slander me they will fall into the hells.” If you have that kind of thought, then you'd better stop reciting the
Shurangama Mantra right this minute and leave off your study of the Buddhadharma. That's because people who

the Buddhadharma must not hate people, must not be jealous of people, must not obstruct people, must not be selfish
in these ways. One cannot have the attitude, “I'm fine, to heck with you.” The Buddhadharma exists for the sake of
rescuing all living beings. It is not designed to cause living beings to commit offenses. You must be clear about this
point. Ananda says, “I imperceptibly received its strength, but I still haven't actually heard it.” I got the strength from
it, but silently and invisibly. So I've never actually heard it. Although I received the benefit of it, I still don't even
know how to recite it. I've never even heard it!'

They all bowed together to the Buddha and then stood on tiptoe waiting for the Buddha to speak the secret sections
and divisions of the mantra. “Divisions” refers to the five major sections of the mantra. The “phrases” are smaller
parts consisting of several lines each, such as “Na mwo Sa Dan Two / Su Chye Dwo Ye / E La He Di / San Myau San
Pu Two Sye.” But these divisions and phrases are secret, that is, they are not easy for people to understand. They are
“secret” in the sense that people do not share a common knowledge about them. When you recite them, you do not
know what advantages you obtain. I do not know what advantages I obtain. Although benefit is obtained, there is no
mutual awareness of it among those benefited, nor is there a common understanding of the mantra itself.
